I just got my ATI SunPower 6x24w non dimmable fixture today for my 24x24x12 30g Deep Blue Rimless. For bulbs I got 3 Blue Plus, 1 Purple Plus, 1 Atinic and 1 Coral Plus. A friend of mine who has an ATI fixture told me to place them front to back as follows- Blue, Atinic, Purple, Coral, Blue and Blue. I have mostly zoa's, lps and a little sps as of now. Does anyone have any suggestions on good placement, I know it can be a matter of opinion but would like to get some ideas. I have it 7" AWL right now.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
 
With six bulbs I'd go, maybe change one of the coral+ for purple depending on your personal preference. You should get a little better par with the 4 blue+
Blue+
Coral
Blue+
Blue+
Coral
Blue+
 
Also go higher if your tank is only 12" deep.

Aquaph8- I only have 1 Coral+. If I were to change out for a 4th Blue+ should I get rid of the Coral+ or Atinic? The Atinic bulb doesn't seem to give much off at all but a friend told me it really helps the coral colors to pop out.
